Product Description

Reacted Iron provides 29 mg of elemental iron per serving,
ideally formulated using the amino acid chelate form of iron (ferrous
bisglycinate) for enhanced absorption, optimal utilization and gastrointestinal
(GI) comfort. Some individuals, who take other forms of iron supplements, may
experience GI side effects, including gas, bloating, constipation or a
combination of these symptoms. Supplementing the right form of iron can be key
to maintaining healthy levels within the body and compliance to a supplement
regimen.

Overview

Iron is one of the most abundant minerals on earth. It is
essential to the majority of life forms, especially human physiology. Iron
supports prenatal and cognitive health, as well as energy balance.

Iron is an integral component of the proteins involved in
oxygen transport and storage: hemoglobin, myoglobin and ferritin. Iron, as part
of the protein hemoglobin, carries oxygen from the lungs to various parts of
the body. Hemoglobin accounts for nearly two-thirds of the iron found in the
body, and carries essential oxygen to tissues and organs. Approximately
one-sixth of the body’s iron is stored as ferritin for use when dietary intake
is not sufficient.

Iron must be maintained at balanced levels within the body –
too much can cause toxicity and too little may lead to impairment of optimal
health outcomes. Iron has to be carefully absorbed by the body. Interference
can easily occur, making adequate consumption through diet and supplementation
imperative to achieving a healthy balance.

Iron Bioavailability

The importance of bioavailability is obvious. If consuming
an iron supplement has little effect on improving the body’s iron balance,
there is no reason to ingest it. Signs of inferior mineral supplements include
the use of cheap, poorly absorbed, rocksalt minerals. Reacted Iron is
formulated with the superior amino acid chelate form, ferrous bisglycinate,
which does not ionize in the gut. Like heme iron (the most bioavailable form of
iron found in some protein food sources), Ferrochel® Ferrous
Bisglycinate is not impacted by dietary factors and is absorbed at a 59% higher
rate than lesser forms, such as ferrous sulfate.
